Abstract
A book digitization apparatus includes an emitter that applies an energy ray to a book, a detector that detects an energy ray radiated from the book in response to a material existing in the book, and a three-dimensional data generator that generates data of a plurality of space points in accordance with the detected ray. The data of the space points associates position information of a position in a three-dimensional space within the book with a physical property value used to identify a layout pattern of the material at the position in a direction of thickness of the book.

A book digitization apparatus comprising:
- an emitter that applies an energy ray to a book;
- a detector that detects an energy ray radiated from, the book in response to a material existing in the book;
- and
- a three-dimensional data generator that generates data of a plurality of space points in accordance with the detected energy ray, wherein the data of the space points associates position information of a position in a three-dimensional space within the book with a physical property value used to identify a layout pattern of the material at the position in a direction of thickness of the book,
A book digitization method comprising:
- applying an energy ray to a book;
- detecting an energy ray radiated from the book in response to a material existing in the book;
- and
- generating three-dimensionally data of a plurality of space points in accordance with the detected ray, wherein the data of the space points associates position information of a position in a three-dimensional space within the book with a physical property value used to identify a layout pattern of the material at the position in a direction of thickness of the book.
